Summary: Favicon should support W3C preferred method
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The W3C recommends that icons be supported through the use of the following
style of markup:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/myicon.png";>
MediaWiki is using the old "shortcut icon" style which is compatible with IE,
but with which it is not possible to specify a PNG file (IE will then refuse to
display a favicon at all).
It would be nice if MediaWiki had the option of supporting the new style, as IE
will access /favicon.ico anyway if it does not see a "shortcut icon" link.
